The Pilot Sport A/S 3+ (Plus) ZP (Zero Pressure) is an Ultra High Performance All-Season run-flat tire member of Michelin's Pilot family of low profile, high-speed tires developed for the drivers of high-end sports cars, sporty coupes and sedans looking for total performance combined with temporary continued mobility after a puncture has allowed a complete loss of air pressure. The Pilot Sport A/S 3+ ZP tire is designed to provide Michelin's highest level of ultra-high all-season performance, emphasizing dry road handling and wet road grip with balanced all-season traction for occasional light snow.
Pilot Sport A/S 3+ ZP tires feature Michelin's Helio+ Technology, which utilizes sunflower oil and Extreme Silica Technology in the tread compound to increase traction at low temperatures and on wet roads. Molded into an aggressive asymmetric tread pattern inspired by the Michelin Pilot Super Sport, its 4-, 5- or 6-rib designs* are tuned to complement tire width and feature more rubber and rigid blocks on their outboard shoulders to provide high levels of lateral grip that offer as much dry cornering capability as some competitors' summer performance tires. Wide circumferential grooves help resist hydroplaning, enhance wet traction and help generate some of the shortest wet braking distances in the Ultra High Performance All-Season category.
Variable Contact Patch 3.0 technology derived from Michelin's experience in endurance racing focuses on evenly spreading contact patch pressures and temperatures. The tire's internal structure includes two high-tensile, lightweight steel cord belts reinforced with spirally wrapped polyamide cord to combine predictable handling and high-speed durability with treadwear and ride comfort, and the reinforced sidewall inserts are designed to temporarily support the weight of the vehicle, even after a loss of air pressure.
*Tread design rib counts are identified on the tire's Specs tab.
El neumático Pilot Sport A/S 3+ (Plus) ZP (Zero Pressure), pertenece a la familia Pilot de Michelin de neumáticos de bajo perfil y velocidades elevadas, además forma parte de la categoría: Ultra Alto Rendimiento Para Toda Estación. Fue desarrollado para conductores que buscan un rendimiento total de sus autos deportivos de alta gama, cupé deportivos y sedanes, combinado con una movilidad continua temporal, en caso de perdida total de aire debido a un pinchazo. El Pilot Sport A/S 3+ ZP, ha sido diseñado para proporcionar los niveles más altos de rendimiento en su categoría ofrecidos por Michelin, haciendo énfasis en la maniobrabilidad sobre superficies secas y el agarre sobre mojadas, además de una tracción balanceada durante todas las estaciones del año, incluyendo superficies con nieve ocasional durante el invierno.
Los neumáticos Pilot Sport A/S 3+ ZP, poseen la tecnología Helio+ de Michelin, la cual, utiliza aceite de girasol combinado con la tecnología Extreme Silica en el compuesto de caucho de la banda de rodamiento, para mejorar la tracción en temperaturas bajas y superficies mojadas. El caucho es moldeado en una banda de rodamiento asimétrica agresiva, inspirada en el Pilot Super Sport de Michelin. Su diseño de 4, 5 o 6 segmentos* se ajusta para complementar la anchura del neumático. También, posee más caucho y bloques rígidos en el hombro externo, para proporcionar niveles de agarre lateral más altos y mayor capacidad al tomar curvas, como algunos neumáticos de alto rendimiento de verano.
Canales circunferenciales anchos ayudan a resistir el deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning), mejorar la tracción sobre mojado y detener el vehículo, al frenar sobre superficies mojadas, entre las distancias más cortas encontradas dentro de los neumáticos de Ultra Alto Rendimiento Para Toda Estación.
La tecnología Variable Contact Patch 3.0 (superficie de contacto variable) derivada de la experiencia obtenida por Michelin en carreras de resistencia, se enfoca en la expansión pareja del área de contacto y de la temperatura. La estructura interna incluye dos correas de acero livianas y resistentes a tensiones fuertes, reforzadas con cordón de poliamida envuelto en espiral, para combinar una conducción predecible y durabilidad (debido al uso a velocidades elevadas), con un desgaste lento y andar confortable. Refuerzos en la pared o flanco permiten soportar el peso del vehículo temporalmente, en caso de pérdida de aire a causa de un pinchazo.

Great tires quiet and very good in wet conditions as the first two times I drove vehicle I got caught in the rain. Handling seems very good dry or wet. Night and day difference from the OEM Goodyear's as they were hard ,noisy, and only lasted 21000 miles. These tires make the corvette enjoyable to drive again. Looks like they will last awhile as the tread depth is substantial.

...So far they have had the best grip, both in the dry, in the wet, and in snow...
I have always liked these tires. So far they have had the best grip, both in the dry, wet, and snow. My only gripe is the price. But in some cases going cheap, you get what you pay for. I drive a 2014 Mazda 6 grand touring, so I can only give my impression of them in that car, which has a stiffer suspension with a wide wheel base and a wide tire footprint, which all offers better performance. But given the multiple types of tires I've driven, these have far better performed.
The only reason I'm replacing them at 40k miles is because a screw punctured one of my tires at the sidewall. But I believe I could have gotten another 20k-30k miles out of them. I've decided to try a less expensive brand, still highly rated, but doesn't hurt the budget as much.

...The first day out, it rain - quite hard at times. These tires performed really well. I was doing 80 in the driving rain and the car never put a foot wrong...
This is the only run-flat tire (that I am aware of) that fits my car. So my options were very limited. I took off on a 6K mile trip right after buying them. The first day out, it rain - quite hard at times. These tires performed really well. I was doing 80 in the driving rain and the car never put a foot wrong. It was totally stable. And they handle really well. However - these tires ride rougher than either the OEM Goodyears or the Firestones I had on after those. Even on the 'touring' setting, it rides like a lumber wagon. I was quite surprised, since Michelin generally has a reputation as a smooth or comfortable ride. They are also louder than either of the other tires. The C5 Corvette is open between the passenger compartment and the trunk and the noise reverberates into the cabin. If you want to listen to the stereo, you really have to crank it up and it makes conversation difficult, even without the stereo. I replace my tires based on their age on this car, rather than mileage. The next time, I hope I can find a better alternative.

...I have driven in a few snow storms with no difficulty at all. The grip these tires proved coupled with AWD offer safe and fun driving in virtually all conditions.
Bought these tires after a pothole ripped the sidewalk of my pirelli tires. These tires meet or exceed all expectations and perform as well as one could ever expect all-season tires to perform. I have drive in the rain countless times and felt in complete control. I have driven in a few snow storms with no difficulty at all. The grip these tires proved coupled with AWD offer safe and fun driving in virtually all conditions.

...Neither have I driven them on snow, nor am I likely to. Corvettes do not do well in the snow...
I put a set of these on my Corvette prior to a major road trip. I put 5800+ miles on these tires over 14 states in 27 days. I was impressed by the traction, particularly in the wet. There were times when I was cruising at 75 to 85 in light rain with wind gusts at times approaching gale force. At no time did they feel unstable or on-the-edge. Very sure-footed and reassuring. Similarly, there was no slip or give-up while on the very curvy sections of Hwy 1 in CA. I haven't had them on long enough to gauge wear. Neither have I driven them on snow, nor am I likely to. Corvettes do not do well in the snow. My main complaint is noise. The rear wheels are just behind the seats and there is no wall between the trunk and the passenger compartment. The road noise came through loud and clear. They are noticeably noisier than the Firehawks they replaced. Road imperfections came through the steering wheel and seats very clearly, as well. On smooth roads, they were great. On rough roads, impacts could be harsh. Keep in mind, though, that the Corvette uses run-flat tires (zero pressure, in Michelin-speak). They do tend to be a little firmer than a 'regular' tire.

...Great all season performance tires, its basically as good as a max summer tire with very good traction and feed back, good ride quality, good tread life and quiet. it also handles heavy rain and even handles light snow very well for a tail happy sports car...
i try to drive my '06 BMW M3 ZCP as much as possible 3 seasons here in Ontario Canada. Just love driving this car. It has low km's and in near mint condition so i was little worried about getting caught in fall light snow or spring cold temps with Michelins PSS's or Sport Cups. so decided to try these UHP all season tires as I'm getting older (mid40's) and have slowed down a little as you can't really speed here or fool around much in GTA or Ontario anymore because they will impound your car for doing a burnout or chirpin the tires thru gears. tbh i already smoked the back tires off having too much fun soon after putting them on but i replaced the rears and chilled out on the burnout launches.
Great all season performance tires, its basically as good as a max summer tire with very good traction and feed back, good ride quality, good tread life and quiet. it also handles heavy rain and even light snow very well for a tail happy sports car.
They are just a little bit better than any other tire i have tried in this UHP all season category as i also just put a new set of the competitors UHP all season Continental DWS06 on my daily driver Audi S8. They are very good tires but not as good as Michelin AS3+.
I have tried a lot of Great new tires from Goodyear, Conti, Pirelli, Dunlop and Cooper. Hankook and others but my gut finds Michelin to be a better all around tire in all tire categories.

...On dry pavement, these tires hold the road so well as to corner with the latest idea of hotrod kiddie-car go-karts (and better than a 2025 Corvette down an interstate ramp)...
I have an X-car (American muscle car) sleeper, with frame stiffening, a hotter engine than original, also developing much more torque than the original setup. Once upon a time I had a full blowout of a (not run-flat) tire while taking a cloverleaf exit, and spun out. The original design 15" rim tires also would lay over, requiring countersteer, at heavy accelerations, and would, too easily leave a block of rubber behind on a too-rough a takeoff. THIS 17" low-profile tire *IS* the tire for my X-car! On dry pavement, these tires hold the road so well as to corner with the latest idea of hotrod kiddie-car go-karts (and better than a 2025 Corvette down an interstate ramp). I got a truck's tie-down buckle through the tread area of one of these Michelin run-flat tires, and drove it home on the Interstate with the buckle through the tire (some careful steering, but no spin-out, tow truck, or roadside tire changing). If you can accept a rougher ride (less sidewall flex), these are the safest tire on the road! Except for the damaged tires (2, over the years, the buckle, and a roofing nail) these tires will dry-rot before running out of tread - and that takes years. Excellent tires, and top quality.

...These new all season tires are heavenly in that they are priced much cheaper than the originals and ride so much smoother... These tires ride great, wear great ( 10K and still look newish), and really fill in the fender space of the tire wells...
I wanted a tire that was run flat certified but more comfortable for a daily driver. The stock tires for the Grand Sport are the summer tires that wear too fast (24K miles) and make for a race ready ride, not a daily commuter ride. These new all season tires are heavenly in that they are priced much cheaper than the originals and ride so much smoother. I am not a racer or track guy, so I don't need summer race tires, but all season comfortable ride tires. These tires ride great, wear great (10K and still look newish), and really fill in the fender space of the tire wells. The price of $1400 for a set of 4 vs. $1800 for summer originals had me at "hello". I believe these are to be the stock tires for the 2020 Corvette as well. Buy them. You won't be sorry.

The ride quality of the Michelin's belie the fact that they are run flat tires... they're a quiet, comfortable and very stable tire...
The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires outperform the Goodyear Eagles they replaced by a wide margin especially in ride quality and noise. The Goodyear's were excessively noisy and they rode like a solid rubber tire. The ride quality of the Michelin's belie the fact that they are run flat tires. If I had to list any area that the Goodyear's might be slightly better then the Michelin's it might be the steering response but beyond that the Michelin's are the far superior tire, they're a quiet,comfortable and very stable tire. 100% would buy again or recommend.
